CLOWN NOIR

On Friday, 26th September, Orchard Theatre Co presents 'Clown Noir: This is Me', written and directed by Simon Thompson. This theatrical stage show that takes you on a journey through a clown’s life and career, the highs, the lows and the shows. A piece of physical comedy that will evoke empathy, passion and disgust combined with hilarious dark humour.

This is a show for those with curious minds who want to decipher the soul that inhabits the body of a Clown, those who want to see behind the façade of grotesque makeup and costume. In equal parts you will witness comedy, tragedy, joy and pathos.

It has a running time of 1 hour and is aimed at an audience of 15yrs plus. Both above shows start 8pm. Bookings – 063-98727 or www.friarsgate.ie.
